The words made everyone present speechless, because they couldn't find a reason to refute Zhai Linqing's remarks again. Yes, in the troubled times, they are just hermits with some skills, and they can only keep one side stable. At this time, since some people dare to stand up and face the dark and unenlightened day, then what reason do they have to deny him, to deny everything he has done for the people of the world.

"Hall Master Zhai, don't get excited, sit down and say, sit down and say. As the master, Huang Xuecheng naturally has a starting role. Seeing that the mood of the two groups of people was not quite right, they hurried out and diluted the mud.

"Listen to me, now we are not talking about the hatred between the court and the people. It's about the emergency military situation of the Northwest Alien Demon, I think, let's talk about how serious the matter is, and whether it is necessary to gather the civil sect alliance to defend against foreign enemies. As he spoke, he glanced at Jiwen, who was standing aside.

Before entering the dynasty, Jiwen also had a certain personal relationship with Huang Xuecheng, and now the two have their own affairs, but they still have a friendship. Seeing Huang Xuecheng's hint, coupled with the appearance of Hall Master Zhai, Jiwen hinted and said, "In this way, let's first share the latest information of the Holy Martial Hall with the sect masters. ”

......

The latest information about the northwest mentioned in the article is also the news brought back by Ran Ze, and these news are outdated old news for the sect masters here, and the first-hand information they have now is the latest development that Qi Lan has just brought.

After waiting for Jiwen to ease the atmosphere, Zhai Linqing continued, "Everyone, I don't think I need to say anything earlier. The facts are in front of me, and I ask the world's martial arts to ignore the past suspicions and help me defeat the enemy. ”

Zhai Linqing said that they could not agree to this part, and besides, he said. Qi Lan had already told them about it.

"That being said, we also have our difficulties. "Yun Huang Dao: "For Dikun Mountain and the Water Spirit Sect, it is not difficult to form an alliance and lead the disciples to resist the enemy. However, for our Hidden World Sect, there are not enough disciples to join the alliance, not to mention that there is no stable economic source if they do not show up all year round, and the internal expenses of the sect are all problems, so how can they have the resources to fight. ”

What Yun Huang said was suspected of ripping the bamboo, but it was indeed the truth. Originally, people don't ask about the world all year round, where is there so much money to fight?

When Zhai Linqing heard it, he couldn't understand what it meant. Immediately, "Don't worry about this Yun sect master, as long as the folk warriors form an alliance to fight the enemy together, I will take Your Majesty to promise you that all the expenses this time will be borne by the imperial court." Whether it's marching food, or aftermath pension, we have to pay. ”

"In addition, if the alliance can build up great merit in the campaign, it will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Even if there is no military exploits, the participating sects will give rewards. In addition to all the expenses and rewards, every warrior who participates in the alliance, the dynasty will send an allowance equivalent to their cultivation, and if he is a commander, he will be additionally promoted. ”

There are expenses, aftercare, and fishing. The goal has been achieved, and everyone present has reluctantly accepted it.

Huang Xuecheng glanced at the people present, and the other four sect masters understood, stood up and said, "Thanks to Emperor Cheng's love, we are willing to stand up as a leader, advertise the martial arts world, form an alliance with the world, and crusade against the Tianshan Mountains." ”

The alliance came to an end, and after Zhai Linqing had lunch, he rushed back to the capital with Jiwen and Tu Xiangzhong, and they still had a lot of things to do.

"It's finally done, I thought they really didn't know how to lift up. "Tu Xiangzhong kept chattering about what happened when he was in Dikun Mountain in the morning.

"Alright. Zhai Lin Qingdao: "They are all people who have suffered from troubled times, otherwise they would not have agreed so much today." ”

"Even if you have been persecuted by war, you should not be hostile to the new dynasty. Tu Xiangzhong is still very unhappy.

Zhai Linqing smiled and said, "They are not hating the emerging dynasty, but hating war. You and I are both martial arts practitioners, so we should be able to understand what is going on in their hearts. Okay, let's go back quickly, Your Majesty is probably looking for me now. "Tu Xiangzhong is a young man who joined the Shengwu Hall after the dynastic war, and he didn't know the situation at that time, so Zhai Linqing didn't bother to explain, after all, it was not a glorious thing.

At the same time inside the palace

"Why didn't Hall Master Zhai go to the early court today. "In the early days of the dynasty, Cheng Yuan was about to talk about the Northwest Tianshan Mountains, but when he went to the court, he found that Zhai Linqing was not there. He asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Hall Master Zhai had already left Beijing yesterday, saying that he was going to do something. "Left and right.

"Really, he didn't say a word to me when he went out, it seems that he has a plan in his heart. Talking to himself, Cheng Yuan said, "Yesterday, I received an urgent letter from General Ran Ze and Meng Xingzong's military division, saying that the eighteen sects in the northwest direction launched a counterattack by the Kuangfu Ji Dynasty led by Tianshan. ”

As soon as the topic came out, it was simply an explosive effect. Ignoring the noisy clamor of the ministers below, Cheng Yuan continued, "Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it personally." Prime Minister Wen. ”

A white-haired old man walked out of the first place on the right side of the hundred officials, "The minister is here." ”

"All the money and grain in the Chinese treasury have been collected and all are waiting to be transported. At the same time, a notice was issued to the market to levy grain at a high price. There is no mistake in doing it now. ”

"Obey the Order"

"Marshal Zhou, how many soldiers are there in the army now. ”

Another middle-aged man with five big and three thick stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, counting the special operations corps and reserve forces, there are more than 900,000 in total." ”

Cheng Yuan frowned and said, "Didn't you cut it once, how can there be so many people." ”

Zhou Shuai said, "Before Your Majesty established the capital, the number of disarmed people was only one-third, the 1.5 million army was more than 1 million, the farmers were allocated nearly 100,000, and there were 900,000 left. ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Okay, okay, I know, after retreating from the dynasty, you go and select 100,000 elite soldiers to form a corps, and the remaining 800,000 will leave 400,000 standing troops and all of them will be cut." ”

Although he couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to disarm when the war was approaching, Marshal Zhou Jingda still agreed.

"Okay, the rest of the state affairs will be handled by Prime Minister Zuo, and he will retire from the court. ”

※※※

It was another half a day, and it was already dark, and the three of them had just walked into the gate of the national capital. "You two go back to the Holy Martial Hall first and see how Gen Shaokai is doing. I will go into the palace and talk to Your Majesty about this. ”

"Okay. ”

In the middle of the ring, Zhai Lin Qingcai came to the palace, and the identity of the master of the Holy Martial Hall is equivalent to the second status in the world, who doesn't know this face.

Knowing that he had walked to the backyard, someone stepped forward and said, "Hall Master Zhai, Your Majesty is now in the imperial study, and said that if the hall master arrives, please go to see Your Majesty immediately." ”

"I know," Zhai Linqing waved his hand to indicate that I heard it, and then walked quickly in the direction of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I'm here. Knocking on the door twice, Zhai Linqing waited outside.

After half a cup of tea, there was a voice from inside, "Come in." Only then did he push the door and enter the imperial study.

"Tell me how things went. Just entered the door, Zhai Linqing hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Cheng Yuan seemed to know what he had been doing in the past two days.

Zhai Linqing didn't have a very puzzled expression, just said, "Back to Your Majesty, General Ran Ze brought back news about the rebellion of the Northwest Sect Tianshan three days ago. There is also the special power they have now, so after the discussion of the ministers, some information has been summarized. It is now that the rebel forces are very strong, and there are special means to turn normal people into dead soldiers who are loyal to them and have great abilities. According to the results of Ran Ze's intelligence, we can only use warriors to fight now, and if ordinary people join the battlefield, it is equivalent to sending supplies to the rebel army. “

Cheng Yuan frowned and said, "What is going on, could it be that Tianshan has been studying these things all along." ”

Zhai Linqing continued, "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to block the attack of the rebel army and carry out a fierce counterattack, otherwise the country will not be protected." ”

Cheng Yuan finally put down the twist and turn in his hand and said, "What is it that Tianshan controls that can have this kind of power." ”

Zhai Lin Qingdao: "According to Ran Ze, Tianshan has researched something called the Demonic Virus this year, which can be transmitted through a variety of ways. People infected with the demonic virus will become like monsters, without thoughts, and only know how to obey simply. And the most lethal thing is that this so-called alien thing itself carries an extremely serious infectious virus. In other words, in the war, their army can be said to fight more and more, and we will only continue to shrink and finally be destroyed. ”

"Oh my God, what is this? Cheng Yuan sighed. "Hall Master Zhai, just tell me what you think. ”

Zhai Linqing sorted out his thoughts and said, "At present, we have no way to get any information from the enemy, so the most effective passive emergency plan now is to recruit warriors from all over the world and form an alliance army to resist the aggression of the rebel forces." Because judging from the current situation, the army must not be invested in this war, so now it can only rely on the combat effectiveness of the warriors to restrain the virus of the alien demons. ”

Cheng Yuandao: "That's right, judging from the current situation, this is indeed the best way to think of it." It's just that there are so many sects in the world now, and there are even more hostile to my Cheng Dynasty, and it seems that it is not easy to mobilize them to jointly form an alliance against the rebels. ”

Speaking of this, Zhai Linqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what I've been doing these days?"

As soon as he said this, Cheng Yuan's eyes changed and said, "Could it be that you are going to do this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes. ”

Hearing the affirmative answer, Cheng Yuan asked urgently, "How is it, has it succeeded?" ”

Of course Zhai Linqing will not sell Guanzi, "Of course it has been successful, otherwise how can I meet Your Majesty." ”

"Hahaha, I really deserve to be a national teacher" Cheng Yuan said happily, "These rivers and lakes are reckless, and they can be regarded as knowing the general situation, and they understand the truth of cold lips and teeth." ”

Zhai Linqing said, "Your Majesty is wrong this time, the minister persuaded them like this." At that moment, he told Cheng Yuan about his affairs on Dikun Mountain.

"Unexpectedly, it seems that I have really made a lot of enemies over the years. Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Let's put this matter on Huang Xuecheng's side first, according to the first plan you said, let's first gather the warriors belonging to our dynasty and go to Yanguan City to garrison, and wait until the Huang sect master completes the alliance and look for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Tianshan rebels." ”

"Obey. ”

It was already close to night when Zhai Linqing returned to the Holy Martial Hall after leaving the palace, but when he came to the top floor, he heard the sound of discussion in the conference room, so he pushed the door in.

"The hall master has returned. "In the conference room, Gen Shaokai, Ran Ze, Meng Xingzong, and Min Yang...... There were quite a few guys who went out with them, and now they were listening to the deputy hall master talk about the reorganization and training of the Holy Martial Hall martial artists.

"You just came back, sit down quickly, and I'll tell you again later. Gen Shaokai kicked the chair in front of him and said.

Regardless of his rudeness, what Zhai Linqing wants to know most now is how he is preparing here.

After they were all seated, Gen Shaokai continued, "When I came back, I saw the message you left. At that time, I was still wondering what could make you so anxious, and then I happened to see the log that Ran Ze left on your seat, and after looking through it, I realized how serious the matter was. ”

"I didn't even think about it at that time, I immediately issued a first-level convening order of the Holy Martial Hall, ordering the martial artists of the world to rush to the Holy Martial School to assemble. The next day, I went to the Shengwu School to the west for reorganization. To my surprise, there were only 20,000 people, and I wondered if I hadn't been notified of the summons. Later, I learned that after the establishment of the Cheng Dynasty, more and more imperial court warriors left the Shengwu Hall and joined the folk sects. Let's talk about seeking better development. ”

"I can't do much about this kind of issue when time is pressing, so I can only organize the 20,000 people who have come into three columns, and Marshal Zhou will personally lead people to train. ”

After Gen Shaokai finished speaking, Zhai Linqing spoke, "Okay, this thing is not bad, there is no way to do much training in two days, not to mention that Your Majesty will march west tomorrow." In this way, all the high-level leaders of our Holy Martial Hall gathered together and went with the army. Time waits for no one, so we can only take one step at a time. ”
